She Was Sanding A Table When An Accident Left Her With Third-Degree Burns On Most Of Her Body
Charlottesville, Virginia. Charlie Anne Xavier is a married mom of two young children living in Charlottesville, Virginia, along with her family.
On Friday, September 10th, Charlie Anne was in the middle of sanding a table when an accident ended up leaving her with third-degree burns on most of her body.
“While sanding a table, she dropped the sander when she misstepped, and the next thing she knew she was engulfed in flames,” a GoFundMe page created by Kiri Berdan reads.
Charlie Ann was life-flighted to the VCU Health Evans-Haynes Burn Center, and she is currently fighting to still be here today.

Charlie Ann now has third-degree burns on more than 85% of her body, and she has a very long road ahead of her.
“Charlie is a powerhouse. She’s the girl cheering the loudest, smiling the brightest, and laughing non-stop,” Kiri continued on the GoFundMe page.
“She’s the first one there when something or someone is needed, and always the one who can make you smile and feel good about yourself after being with her.”
“She’s a wife and a mother to two beautiful boys – a four-year-old and a nine-month-old. She will heal and come home, and it’s our privilege to serve her now.”

In a Facebook post, Charlie Ann’s husband André confirmed the news of her terrible accident, before confirming that they still don’t know what challenges Charlie Ann will still have to face as she recovers.
“Sadly our recovery journey is a very long and painful one, including daily surgeries for months, therapy and she will have to re-learn everything,” André wrote.
“And at this point we still don’t know what motor skills will she have, our new life remains a mystery, but I want to make sure that Charlie has every possible chance of a productive life, our boys need her and I desperately need her as well.”
